The CPU is fastest processing component in our computer. Though the other peripheral devices(RAM, Hard disk, CD Drive, etc) are very slow as comparative to CPU. These devices takes too much time to understand and use the data send by CPU. while CPU is working with its very high speed.
Because of such condition there are very high chances that Other peripherals or IO devices get flooded by data sent by CPU like bottleneck situation.
To Avoid this situation CPU maintains three cache lines, L1, L2, and L3. with positions as within CPU(L1), at boundary of CPU(L2) and Just Outside of CPU(L3).
therefore the meaning of a processor with 3 MB L3 cache mean cache line 3 can store up to 3 MB data/ addresses, to work with slow IO devices.

What is the best safety uses of memory?
cache memory it com up with processor p4 and more with max 2 mb it is of 3 the L1 L2 L3:- L1 AND L2 are in processr and L3 is in mother bord Shorter version: It increases memory space in the CPU.
How much cache memory in Intel i3 processor?
4 MB
What does the 3 MB portion of the processor information mean?
This "3MB" is probably proceeded by "L2 cache" or "L3 cache" Or, its 3GHz. If it is 3MB, then it is referring to the instruction-caching memory that is built right into the processor, a few small panels of extremely fast memory that temporarily store instructions for the processor. The including of cache greatly increased a processors overall performance. The L2 and L3 portion refer to levels of cache. L1 Cache is very small, typically two blocks of 32KB or 64Kb. This Cache is the fastest, used for branch prediction and direct instruction strings. L2 Cache is larger, typically 1MB or 2MB, and also a fair deal slower than L1 cache. L3 Cache is the slowest, and is shared by multiple cores (If there is more than 1) and is the largest cache, typically 3MB - 16MB, depending on the processor. If it is actually 3GHz, then this is the number that reflects the number of Cycles Per Second, or Hertz, that the processor is capable of. 3Ghz is Three Giga-Hertz, or 3,000,000,000 Cycles per Second. Amazing isn't it?
Does 2mb cache processor run on DELL GX280?
yes i have dell gx280 3.0 gh with 2 mb cache
How much cache memory is available in Intel i3 Processor?
3 mb
What CPU should you buy?
Should I buy a Intel core i5-4670k quad-core desktop processor 3.4 ghz 6 mb cache that is $391 or a Intel core i5-4670k quad-core desktop processor 3.4 ghz 6 mb cache $274
What is an L2 cache and is 6 MB good?
An L2 cache is a small amount of RAM built directly into the processor. This memory is faster than the main system memory. It is used so that the processor doesn't have to fetch data from main memory as often, and thus making many tasks on the computer, such as video games and editing faster. A 6 MB L2 cache is considered good by today's standards.
What difference between 32MB cache buffer and 64MB cache buffer?
A megabyte is a unit of information storage equal to 8,388,608 bits. The cache buffer is an area of extremely fast-access memory used by the processor, so the larger the area, the more data could take advantage of this speed. The "difference" between the two is self-evident.
What is the cache memory of core 2 duo?
It has 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 4 MB of L2 cache.
Consider a memory system with a level 1 cache of 32 KB and DRAM of 512 MB with the processor operating at 1 GHz. The latency to L1 cache is one cycle and the latency to DRAM is 100 cycles. In each mem?
The computation performs 8 FLOPS on 2 cache lines, i.e., 8 FLOPS in 200 ns. This corresponds to a computation rate of 40 MFLOPS
What difference between dual core and core 2 duo and centrino processor and which is best?
Core 2 Duo processor has 2, 3, 4 or even 6 MB Cache, depend on the product code. The cheapest C2D has 2 MB cache. Compare to Pentium Dual Core, which has 1 MB cache, you might think, C2D is a better choice. From various benchmark, having extra 1 MB cache might improve the performance of the CPU up to 10%, depend on application. However, C2D currently running on 800, 1066 and 1333MHz FSB. Compare to Pentium Dual Core, it is limited to FSB 800 only. This limitation is an advantage for Pentium Dual Core if you want to overclock it to 1333 MHz FSB without much problem, since most of current mobos run at 1333 MHz. For most users who do not care about overclocking, having faster FSB might improve their system responsiveness.
T is the difference between athlon 2 x2 240 and athlon x2 480?
There is no such processor as an Athlon x2 480. If you mean an Athlon 4800, and an Athlon II 240... The 4800 is a dual core, 1 MB L2 cache processor operating a 2.4 GHz, and has a 2000 MHz FSB The II 240 has 2 MB of L2 cache, operates at 2.8 GHz, has a 4000 MHz FSB, and utilizes a newer design. It is more efficient, runs cooler, support virtualization, and has updated instruction sets. The II 240 is significantly more powerful.
